The Gila County Sheriff’s Office arrested Byron Matheu on March 7 at approximately 11:55 p.m. for an outstanding Homicide Warrant out of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Byron had eluded capture for six years and was booked into the Gila County Jail awaiting extradition back to Los Angeles.
Deputy Leonard Kerszykowski was driving northbound on Arizona Highway 87 when he saw what appeared to be a vehicle that was involved in an accident south of Payson at the Gibson Ranch Road intersection. Deputy Kerszykowski turned around and went back to the scene along with Sgt. Craig Smith to assist the motorist. It was determined that there was no accident and the vehicle had just slid off the road due to inclement weather and snow.
While Sgt. Smith and Deputy Kerszykowski were assisting with getting the vehicle removed, the subject who was driving the vehicle and later identified as Byron Matheu was giving the deputies false information as to his true identity. Deputies brought Byron to the Sheriff’s Office in Payson where he was positively identified. Matheu had been living in and around the Payson area for last 4 years.
The warrant was issued on Feb. 23, 2004 for homicide. The victim was shot to death in the city of Lancaster.
